RLST 002 PO -Ideas of Love

Institution: Pomona

Description: We read texts from the Western canon and compare their presentations of love. Questions that might be raised include: How is love presented differently in different eras and why? Does love mean something different in philosophical texts and theological texts? And how have ideas of love supported conceptions of virtue, ethics, power, and meaning? Course texts include works by Plato, Augustine, Shakespeare, and Orwell.

Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
